How bad is Birmingham, AL Real Estate????

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Realty
Last month sales in Alabama increased 11%.  However, it is hard to get this news.  Why you may ask?  People never want to hear about the good things, because by human nature you turn on the news....  That is where so many of us do wrong.  Numbers are picking up, and people should try to get out of the rainy day fog.  However, mind shift must be the biggest change in everything.  Yes, there have been hard times, but no economy is perfect!  Did you hear me? NO ECONOMY IS PERFECT!  In the U.S. our economy has been very strong for decades, and a slight shift is going to change all of that.  The best thing for people to do is there own research, and stay in the know by what your data research shows not the news station or paper.  They are typically great for setting yourself up for a bad day.  However, knowledge is power.  So use caution when determining your own personal facts.

Hi Ashleigh!  Maybe what you need in Birmingham is a website (and promotion of it) like a consortium of local leaders put together here in Dallas.  Take a look at www.dfwhousingfacts.org and maybe it will give you some ideas!  I have had several new clients recently tell me that they had seen the billboards promoting this site and had checked it out before deciding to contact me.

Good News unfortunately doesn't sell------ especially if the news has an agenda to make it seem worse. Why let a little bit of fact mess up a story. Here in Georgia I am seeing a Big increase in business.... but you couldnt tell it by the news. It is all DOOM and GLOOM on the newsfront... back to you. I think we have to get out there ourselves and tell the true story.

Welcome and Good Luck!
